Clean Protein: A Revolution for Your Body and Our Planet
Kathy Freston - 2018
So this book is about how to eat better protein... Some protein you can eat to your heart's content and your body will remain happy-this is what we refer to as clean protein. Other forms of protein are fine in small amounts but can cause serious disease when consumed regularly-we call this dirty protein."Do vegans get enough protein? Is it safe for people on Paleo diets to eat so much meat? How much protein do people really need to be healthy? The debate rages on about how much protein is optimal, but one thing is clear: too much meat can be deadly, and the current methods of cultivating protein are killing our environment. In THE CLEAN PROTEIN REVOLUTION, Kathy Freston and Bruce Friedrich (Executive Director of the Good Food Institute) address how to know how much protein is right for your body, and offer delicious recipes and meal plans to help you incorporate healthy protein into your diet. Along the way they describe how new sources of clean protein (i.e. protein that doesn't require animal agriculture) can be sustainably produced, and include fascinating interviews and information from game-changing academics and entrepreneurs who are poised to revolutionize the food supply and the economics of agriculture world-wide.

The Reporter's Kitchen: Essays
Jane Kramer - 2017
Her first dish, a tinned-tuna curry, was assembled on a tiny stove in her graduate student apartment while she pondered her first writing assignment. From there, whether her travels took her to a tent settlement in the Sahara for an afternoon interview with an old Berber woman toiling over goat stew, or to the great London restaurateur and author Yotam Ottolenghi's Notting Hill apartment, where they assembled a buttered phylo-and-cheese tower called a mutabbaq, Jane always returned from the field with a new recipe, and usually, a friend.For the first time, Jane's beloved food pieces from The New Yorker, where she has been a staff writer since 1964, are arranged in one place--a collection of definitive chef profiles, personal essays, and gastronomic history that is at once deeply personal and humane. The Reporter's Kitchen follows Jane everywhere, and throughout her career--from her summer writing retreat in Umbria, where Jane and her anthropologist husband host memorable expat Thanksgivings--in July--to the Nordic coast, where Jane and acclaimed Danish chef Rene Redzepi, of Noma, forage for edible sea-grass. The Reporter's Kitchen is an important record of culture distilled through food around the world. It's welcoming and inevitably surprising.
